Most common method Inputs SQL_ID SQL statement is not executed Inputs a script name which contains ALTER SESSION commands (if applicable) Binds declaration and assignment (if applicable) SQL statement Executes the SQL statement Combines XTRACT and XECUTE Inputs SQL_ID Inputs a file name which contains a SQL statement What if SQL contains binds? Leave them in place, OR Replace with literals of same data type For read-only databases Executes in Primary and connects into stand-by Works like XTRACT Inputs SQL_ID and DBLINK
SQLT XECUTE
sqlt/run/sqltxecute.sql
SQLT XTRXEC SQLT XPLAIN
sqlt/run/sqltxtrxecsql sqlt/run/sqltxplain.sql
SQLT XTRSBY
sqlt/run/sqltxtrsby.sql
